Ok... In that case, we need to define some things better. For
instance, bcsel is currently defined as "if nonzero do this else that"
which is very different from "if ~0 do this else if 0 do that else...
who knows?" I'm ok with either but we need to be clear. If we stop
using the sloppy version that may mean that when translating from
other source languages that may not be strongly typed we'll have to do
a ine with zero to fix it up.
